Find room for Bonsai project work in a busy week
Ask Notis to check free slots within a defined window and surface work time that fits around your calendar commitments.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Find free slots
Finds free/busy time slots in google calendars for specified calendars within a defined time range (defaults to the current day utc if `time min`/`time max` are omitted), enhancing busy intervals with event details; `time min` must precede `time max` if both are provided.
Why this helps
Finding a stretch of focus time around client calls can turn into repeated calendar checks and mental math.
- See possible work windows without checking each calendar by hand.
- Base the search on selected calendars and a time range you specify.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Bonsai and Google Calendar once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create one from any channel.
- 3Describe the outcome: find free slots in the specified calendars and time range for the Bonsai project work context you provide.
- 4Pick the notis_cron trigger and choose a recurring schedule and report channel.
- 5Test with one real week and confirm the time range and calendars are appropriate.
Questions about this workflow
Can the workflow infer how much project time I need?
Provide the desired duration or work window in your instruction. Free slot results only show availability based on the requested range and calendars.
Does it schedule the project work automatically?
No. This workflow finds and reports free slots. It does not create an event or reserve a slot.
